Dude... Just keep two different checkouts of the Boost tree. One for 
HEAD and another for RC. No switching required, it takes me a very 
short, 2 minutes at most, to check into HEAD, merge to RC, check into 
RC, retag HEAD. Assuming there are no conflicts. And if I'm really 
paranoid I run WinMerge on the particular subdirs of files I merged 
between the HEAD and RC checkouts (no CVS mucking needed). Note, I'm a 
fairly paranoid person ;-)

Yes it's a problem that should be getting detected. Is it not showing up 
on the emails? Or is this on HEAD?
